INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT. 



jy- On March 12, 1920, the Congressional Joint Commission on Re- 
classification of Salaries submitted its report to Congress. This 
report was referred by the Speaker to the House Committee on 
Reform in the Civil Service. 

FINDINGS OF THE COMMISSION. 

The commission made a careful analysis of the unfavorable con- 
ditions in the Government service. The principal findings in the 
analysis were : 

(1) Lack of uniformity in entrance salaries, in pay for the 

same class of work, and in pay scales as between depart- 
ments, particularly between war-expanded departments 
and other departments. 

(2) Increase in inequalities as a result of the present bonus 

system. 

(3) Failure of pay rates to keep pace with the increase in the 

cost of living. 

(4) Lack of standards in fixing pay, in relating pay to work 

performed, and in determining the titles of positions. 

(5) Large number of unnecessary titles. 

(6) The defects of unrestricted lump-sum appropriations on 

the one hand and of the rigid system of statutory appro- 
priations on the other. 

(7) Absence of a uniform plan for pay increases within classes 

and for promotion from class to class. 

(8) Absence of uniform regulations and practices governing 

working hours, sick leave, housing and other welfare 
matters, safety, probation, training, testing of efficiency, 
and transfers. 
The Commission pointed out that the general effect of these injus- 
tices and inequalities is impaired morale, excessive turnover, waste 
and inefficiency, and a condition of employment unattractive to a 
desirable type of technical employees. 

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMISSION. 

To correct these conditions the commission proposed a reclassifi- 
cation statute, including a classification of positions in the service 
in the District of Columbia (excepting the navy yard and postal 
service) and schedules of compensation. The bill also includes the 



IV INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT. 

following civil service and welfare provisions: Periodical increases 
shall be based on efficiency records prescribed by the Civil Service 
Commission and rated by department heads. Promotions, so far 
as possible, shall be on the basis of competitive promotional exami- 
nations. Congress shall prescribe minimum working hours and uni- 
form overtime, compensation for hourly rate employees, night work, 
leave of absence, and sick leave. The Civil Service Commission 
shall determine whether or not an employee has satisfactorily passed 
a probationary period. Employees who fall below a proper stand- 
ard of efficiency shall be demoted, dismissed, or pensioned. An 
advisory council shall be created, consisting of an equal number of 
representatives of administrative officers and employees, to advise 
the Civil Service Commission on personnel problems, to hear ap- 
peals and complaints, and to consider measures of welfare and 
wages; and similar subsidiary councils shall be established in the 
several departments and bureaus. 

As to the adoption and control of classification, the commission 
recommended that Congress adopt the detailed classification and 
salary rates attached to the report and authorize the Civil Service 
Commission to take over and maintain records of the commission 
and to allocate individual positions in accordance with the classi- 
fication; and that Congress adjust salaries in accordance with 
this classification and allocation. It further recommended that the 
administration of the classification be delegated by law to the 
Civil Service Commission, which will make recommendations to 
Congress regarding proposed changes and additions. In some cases 
these recommendations are to apply until acted on by Congress. All 
estimates are to be made in accordance with the new classification 
upon certification by the Civil Service Commission that they are in 
conformity with the classification schedules. Appointments are to 
be made at the minimum rate prescribed in the classification. 

ACTION ON REPORT OF COMMISSION. 

In acting upon the classification report, the chairman of the Com- 
mittee on Reform in the Civil Service of the House of Representa- 
tives employed a special adviser and called upon various members 
of the detailed reclassification staff and on other representatives 
of the departments to assist him in making an analysis of the report 
and a redraft of the proposed bill. 

This work has been done in a spirit of entire appreciation of the 
soundness of the fundamental principles of the report of the com- 
mission and of the excellent work done by the staff and detailed 
staff and the advisory committee attached to the commission. The 
report of the commission and its supporting studies and statistics 
have been the basis for the redraft which follows. It would have 



INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT. y 

been quite impossible in the time and with the resources avaihibie 
to build otherwise than upon the foundations laid by the Reclassi- 
fication Commission. 

BASIS FOR REDRAFT OF SCHEDULES. 

While the underlying principles followed by the commission have 
met with almost unanimous approval, it is generally conceded that 
the bill and schedules require modifications if they are to receive 
favorable attention at the approaching short session of Congress. 
The bill is too comprehensive. The act creating the joint commis- 
sion authorized the commission to prepare a plan of uniform and 
equitable pay, but not a general plan for the reorganization of the 
civil service and the welfare of employees. The bill was not drafted 
with regard to the appropriation machinery of Congress or to the 
proposed budget plan. The schedules are too long and too detailed 
for incorporation in an act of Congress. They would be a source of 
embarrassment to Congress, to department and bureau heads, and to 
the employees if fixed in law in such detail. The plan to vest in the 
Civil Service Commission the entire control of the new classification, 
carrying with it the power to distribute large lump sums for in- 
creases, is not one which is likely to commend itself to Congress. 

It has been the object of this redraft to restrict the bill to re- 
classification, to simplify and consolidate schedules, and to make 
them effective by methods adapted to the appropriation machinery 
of Congress. 

As a basis for the redrafted schedules, a study has been made of 
the working materials and cost statistics of the Eeclassification Com- 
mission. In general, it has been found that the commission followed 
a sound and conservative policy as to salaries. Prevailing rates and 
salaries have been verified, and wherever errors have been found 
these have been corrected. While the commission made studies of 
the cost of living, the family minimum budget was not used to deter- 
mine salaries and the individual minimum was used only as a guide 
for purposes of approximation. The present and anticipated de- 
creases in the cost of living therefore do not invalidate the general 
average of rates proposed by the commission and verified bji' us. It 
may be said that the compensation proposed for the majority of posi- 
tions in the redrafted schedules is still somewhat below comfortable 
living standards and the standards of the most progressive private 
employers and local governments, 

COST OF SALARY ADJUSTMENTS. 

The Reclassification Commission estimated that over and above 
present pay and bonus the increased appropriation to make their 
schedules effective would be between 8^ and 10 per cent. This was on 



VI INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT. 

the assumption that adjustments in salaries in the case of underpaid 
employees would be not merely to the minimum salary of the proper 
grade, but to that higher rate in the grade to which the employee 
might be entitled as the result of length of service. We have analyzed 
part of the Reclassification Commission's figures. They are based 
upon tentative allocation of the duties cards collected by the commis- 
sion. The commission did not have the funds or the staff to make 
the critical field studies of organization and individual duties on 
which absolutely accurate records must be based. In addition, the 
commission recommended no rates for a number of the higher posi- 
tions and, therefore, as to such positions had no exact guide as to in- 
creased cost. The commission seems to have been generous in its 
allocation, but has underestimated the number of employees "who 
would be immediately increased to the top of their appropriate grade. 
Probably the total increase under the commission's plan would be 
nearer 12 per cent than 10 per cent, but it would certainly not ex- 
ceed 12 per cent. 

In view of the fact that critical studies of the reorganization of 
Government establishments are projected, and that such reorganiza- 
tion would undoubtedly reduce the numbers of employees and pro- 
duce considerable saving in personnel, it has seemed essential to de- 
vise a plan which will not involve too large an immediate! increase, 
and which will look toward providing for further increased compen- 
sation for necessary personnel out of savings through consolidation 
and abolition of unnecessary positions. 

We have therefore recommended in the redrafted bill that the im- 
mediate adjustments be made only to the proper minimum salary 
rate, excepting only the highest technical and administrative posi- 
tions. We have also recommended omitting teachers in the District 
of Columbia from the classification. We have estimated that the 
increase in appropriations will thus be reduced to approximately 
8 per cent. 

ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 

The detailed work of revision has devolved largely on Mr. Robert 
Moses, who has been employed as special adviser on reclassifica- 
tion. Acknowledgment is made of the valuable service rendered b}^ 
Mr. Lewis Meriam, of the Institute of Government Research, and by 
Lieut. Col. Frederick W. Albert, who have acted as principal assist- 
ants to Mr. Moses, and by the members of the Reclassification Com- 
mission's detailed staff and administrative officers, who have placed 
the experience gained with the Reclassification Commission at our 
disposal.

compensation of each employee thereunder, in accordance with the classifica- 
tion of 1920, and the rules prescribed in section 5 herein. Such allocations and 
rates of compensation shall become effective upon their approval by the Secre- 
tary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized 
to expend during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, from such money as may 
be specifically appropriated for this purpose such sums as may be required to 
pay the rates of compensation so fixed for employees provided for in the 
several appropriations for said fiscal year in the event that the amounts 
appropriated are insuflicient to pay such rates of compensation. 

The Secretary of the Treasury shall make a i-eport to Congress at the 
beginning of the first session after March 4, 1921, on a classification of field 
services which shall follow the principles and rules of the classification of 1920 
in so far as these are applicable to the field services. This report shall include 
a list prepared by the head of each department allocating all of the field posi- 
tions in his department appropriated for in the acts making appropriations

rate of compensation of each employee thereunder, in accordance with the pro- 
posed field classification and the rules prescribed in section 5 herein. The

of the Secretary of the Treasury for the prosecution of this work. 

Sec. 5. That in determining the compensation to be established for the several 
employees the following rules shall govern : 

1. In computing the existing compensation of an employee, any bonus which 
the employee receives shall be included. 

2. If the employee is receiving compensation less than the minimum salary 
of the grade in which his duties fall, the compensation shall be increased to 
that minimum rate, unless the classification specifically provides that positions 
may be filled at a higher rate. 

3. If the employee is receiving compensation within the range of salary 
prescribed for the appropriate grade, no change shall be made in the existing 
compensation. 

4. If the employee is receiving compensation in excess of the maximum salary 
rate of the appropriate grade, no change shall be made in the existing compen- 
satiop, but the title of the appropriate grade shall be established. 

5. All vacant or new positions shall be filled at the minimum rate of the 
appropriate grade, unless the classification specifically provides that they may 
be filled at a higher rate. 

6. In determining the rate of compensation which an employee shall receive 
the principle of equal compensation for equal work irrespective of sex shall be 
followed. 

7. In the case of the grades, specifically designated in the classification, 
exceptional supervisory, or technical qualifications and duties shall be the basis 
for filling positions at a rate above the minimum.

appropriation is made therefor, such positions shall be classified by the depart- 



PROPOSED EECLASSIFICATION ACT. 3 

ment head, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, so far as possi- 
ble within the existing grades; but if any additional grades are necessary as 
a result thereof, the Secretary of the Treasury may by order establish such 
additional grades and classify therein such new positions, and shall prescribe 
the titles, duties, and rates of compensation for such additional grades; such 
rates of compensation shall bear a proper relation to tjie rates of compensation 
prescribed for existing grades reasonably comparable therewith as to qualifica- 
tions and duties. Such orders shall be transmitted by the Secretary of the 
Treasury as soon as practicable to both Houses of Congress, and shall be in full 
force and effect until and except as altered, amended, or repealed by law. 

Sec. 7. That the Civil Service Commission shall make rules and regulations 
consistent with the civil service act to determine eligibility for appointment 
and promotion in accordance with the classification of 1920. Such rules and 
regulations shall fix the qualifications with respect to the training and experi- 
ence necessary for such eligibility, which qualifications in so far as practicable 
shall be uniform for all similar grades of classified positions. 

Sec. 8. That the Civil Service Commission, after consultation with the heads 
of departments, shall establish uniform systems of efficiency rating, which shall 
set forth (1) the standard of efficiency which must be maintained by employees 
within the same grade to whom the same rate of compensation is paid and below 
which no employee may fall .without being paid such lower rate of compensation 
prescribed for such grade to which his efficiency rating entitled him; and (2) 
the higher standard of efficiency of an employee which, in the judgment of the 
commission, will entitle him to receive annually compensation at the next higher 
rate or the second higher rate prescribed for the. grade in which his position is 
placed ; (3) the standard of efficiency for a grade below which no employee may 
fall without being dismissed for inefficiency. 

The head of the department shall rate, in accordance with such systems, the 
efficiency of each employee under his control or direction. Such current ratings 
for each grade shall be open to inspection by the representatives of the Civil 
Service Commission and by the employees of the department under conditions to 
be determined by the Civil Service Commission after consultation with the de- 
partment heads. 

The Civil Service Commission may require that one copy of such current 
ratings shall be transmitted to and kept on file with the commission. 

Sec. 9. That subject to such rules and regulations as the President may from 
time to time prescribe, an employee may be transferred from a position in one 
grade to a vacant position within the same grade at the same rate of compen- 
sation, or to a vacant position in a higher grade at a higher rate of compensa- 
tion for which such employee shall have duly qualified under the rules and 
regulations of the Civil Service Commission as provided in section 7 herein, 
any provision of law to the contrary notwithstanding : Provided, That nothing 
herein shall be construed to authorize or permit the transfer of an employee of 
the United States to a position under the municipal government of the District 
of Columbia, or an employee of the municipal government of the District of 
Columbia to a position under the United States. 

Sec. 10. That all appointments, promotions, transfers, retentions, and dis- 
missals in positions shall be based on the classification of 1920, the rules and 
regulations of the Civil Service Commission and the efficiency ratings herein pro- 
vided for in so far as they are applicable. 

Sec. 11. That nothing contained in this act shall be construed to make per-
